The weather was horrible. About 30 degrees, 10-15 MPH winds and raining fairly hard. It was just plain awful For a few days before my body was just dragging. That on top of a 2pm start , I am surprised I did as well as I did. The afternoon start was tough because it was hard getting food into me beforehand. How much toast? What time? That and all morning I was thinking about the race and started psyching myself out. Not my favorite race, for sure.

The race conditions were awful. The temp was about 15 degrees and there was a 15-20 mph wind. There was was a long ~600m stretch right into the teeth of it at mile 2.5. That sucked in a major way.
Only my third run after my starting running again, and I felt pretty darn good. The race organizers was kind enough to have a few people offer their homes for runners from out of town, so I got to crash at the race directors house. That was pretty cool.
This race had a serious small town feel to it, quite cool. I might go back next year.

My first race of my modern era, and I was a little disappointed in my time. I thought there was a snowballs chance of breaking 20 minutes, but come on, I have only been running here for a few weeks. The course was pretty fast, but I did learn that you MUST drive the course beforehand if you can. At one point I took a right hand turn and saw a huge hill that I had to run down. I also saw people coming back up it on the other side. I wish I would have known that beforehand. It was a brutally steep (yet blessedly short) hill.
The food afterward was great, a fantastic start to my ‘new’ running phase.
